Spelt Chocolate Fudge Brownies Recipe

Thursday, April 13, 2017

Just in time for Easter, this recipe is rich, chocolatey heaven. Each little brownie is a delicious burst of nutty, fudgy, chocolate biscuit-brownie hybrid. As with most of the recipes I share on my blog, it is SO easy to make, and they take just 10-12mins to bake!

This is a chocolate-heavy recipe - requiring 290g - so choosing a good quality chocolate that you enjoy is paramount. I have used Pana Chocolate in this recipe. Pana Chocolate is raw, organic, dairy free, gluten free, vegan, refined sugar free and handmade.

And despite the whack of chocolate in this recipe, it is still a healthier treat (I say healthier because really, we don't need treats every day or week!) - with 100% wholegrain spelt flour and raw honey to sweeten.

Wholegrain flours (purely the grains stone-ground and unprocessed beyond that) leave all of the 27 vitamins and minerals intact in the flour - processed white, unbleached or wholemeal (note the difference between wholemeal and wholegrain) flours have all been highly processed - with the majority of the vitamins and minerals destroyed or removed, the gluten removed then artificially replaced later on. They are a nutritionally devoid product, vs wholegrain flours which are still a natural product with some nutritional value!

The same goes for refined sugars - if you'd like a post on the differences between refined sugars and unrefined (and what's what) let me know in the comments below and I'll put one together for you along with some really great books!

I used half Pana Chocolate in the Eighty Bar and half of the Raw Cacao bars. The Raw Cacao is still a dark chocolate, (in my opinion) with a minimum 60% cacao content. If you want a very dark, slightly bitter chocolate, then I recommend going with the Eighty. Otherwise, if you prefer a slightly sweeter flavour, opt for the Raw Cacao bars or one of the many flavours. I would leave out the Eighty next time around, because when I've made this recipe before, I prefer the sweeter finish (but it's still very rich and dark chocolatey)
